Album Review – CONO by Pop Filter (2023) (Bobo Integral)

POP FILTER

Pop Filter is something of an Aussie ‘indie supergroup’ consisting of members of Snowy, Cools Sounds, and The Ocean Party.
Or at least they would be if their music was not drizzled with the comfortability that can only really be developed by true friends having fun and expressing their thoughts upon the travails of real adulting where careers, family, and the geographical distance that is often wedged between those we want to be closest to is hoisted upon us.
The freneticism of genuine rock would never really suit this band and their relationship with each other, and as such, they express themselves in tracks best represented by Sideways, Alone, See What You Like, and Racin’ Like Hell with a lo-fi slacker rock perfection that takes a jangle-pop core and augments it with a glorious twang and the most natural sense of introspection.
Occasionally, in tracks such as Heaven Sent, Undertow, and Silver Lining, the lo-fi core is shaken more vigorously, and mid-tempo earworms tumble into the aural atmosphere, threatening to engulf the album in terms of importance but ultimately only really serving to add a necessary energetic ying to the otherwise languid yang.
Laconic Aussie reflections at their absolute finest.
